2I only bought the adapter in this review, but the Solar System stinks...  Jun 13, 2011
By KT
Before I review the product, I will say the adapter was shipped promptly and exactly as expected. Couldn't ask for more from the seller... I bought the adapter to power the GeoSafari Solar System continuously since the batteries don't last that long... and now the bulbs that light the sun keep burning out. I don't know if the adapter is overpowering the toy, or the bulbs are cheap or ? The bulbs didn't burn out with the batteries, but only last for about 5 min with the adapter, and I've gone thru several bulbs and have tried with and without the motorized planets "revolving around the sun". So all I can power now are the revolving planets, which stinks without the sun shining! I may eventually measure the output of the adapter, and do some more tests with the bulbs. But at this point, I cannot recommend the Solar System and AC adapter as dependable.

1AC Adapter problem  Feb 07, 2012
By john
I agree with the previous reviewer. There is something wrong with the adapter. When I plugged in the adapter the bulb lasted 5 minutes or so. There is no problem when I use the batteries so all the data points to the adapter. The Solar System calls for an adapter that puts out 4.5 volts at 800mA but the adapter that I received is rated at 7.5 volts at 200mA. The bulb is rated at 6.3 volts at 150mA. I think that it is the voltage mismatch that is the problem. An electrical device will only draw the current that it needs but the voltage is forced through the bulb and apparently is too large for the bulb. I noticed on the small box that the adapter came in that the GeoSafari Solar System is not one of the 10 toys listed. Either GeoSafari or Amazon is supplying the wrong adapter.
